Synopsis:

In a secluded off-season French seaside town we meet diffident, beautiful and lonely Melancholie “Mellie” Mau, (Marlène Jobert) who watches a mysterious masked stranger step down from the bus into the downpour. “No one eve comes by Bus”, she explains to her mother as she watches. “Then he must have ridden in on the rain”. Soon this mysterious man is watching her and finally breaks in while her husband is away to brutally attack and rape her. Desperate, she grabs a shotgun and shoots her attacker, later disposing of the corpse in the ocean. A Hitchcockian mystery unfolds as the body does not remain hidden and soon Mellie is confronted by another stranger, Harry Dobbs (Charles Bronson) who seems to know all about the murder. Adapted from a novel by acclaimed mystery writer Sebastien Japrisot this Sophisticated tale of rape, survival and romance piles one plot twist after another deliriously confounding the audience at every turn.
